Struct GeneticCode 

pub struct GeneticCode { /* private fields */ }

A genetic code translation table.

Wraps a 64-element amino acid lookup array and a 64-element start codon mask. Use GeneticCode::from_id or GeneticCode::standard to create.

Implementations

impl GeneticCode

pub fn from_id(id: GeneticCodeId) -> Self

Create a genetic code table from an NCBI table identifier.

pub fn standard() -> Self

Create the standard genetic code (NCBI Table 1).

pub fn id(&self) -> GeneticCodeId

Table identifier.

pub fn name(&self) -> &str

Human-readable name.

pub fn translate_codon(&self, codon: &[u8]) -> Option<u8>

Translate a single codon (3-byte slice) to an amino acid.

Returns None for stop codons (encoded as b'*' internally) and for unrecognizable/ambiguous codons.

pub fn translate_sequence(&self, seq: &[u8]) -> Vec<u8>

Translate a nucleotide sequence, stopping at the first stop codon.

Incomplete trailing codons are ignored.

pub fn translate_sequence_full(&self, seq: &[u8]) -> Vec<u8>

Translate a nucleotide sequence, including stop codons as '*'.

Does not stop at stop codons — translates the entire sequence. Incomplete trailing codons are ignored.

pub fn is_start(&self, codon: &[u8]) -> bool

Check whether a codon is a start codon in this table.

pub fn is_stop(&self, codon: &[u8]) -> bool

Check whether a codon is a stop codon in this table.

pub fn stop_codons(&self) -> Vec<[u8; 3]>

Return all stop codons for this table (as DNA).

pub fn start_codons(&self) -> Vec<[u8; 3]>

Return all start codons for this table (as DNA).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for GeneticCode

fn clone(&self) -> GeneticCode

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for GeneticCode

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
